JAMK offers guidance for foreign students in many different ways and in different stages.
Exchange and double degree students
Exchange and double degree students are served and guided throughout the exchange period by JAMK's International Services. From applying to arrival, studying and leaving for home, International Services and the Academic Advisors of the Schools support JAMK's exchange students. International Services gives general guidance concerning the different stages of and administrates the documents related to exchange. The Academic Advisors give School-specific guidance related to the studies. They also help exchange students to complete their study plans, i.e. help the students choose the courses they will complete during their exchange. Both International Services and Academic Advisors help with any difficulties the student might face during the exchange.

Foreign degree students
Foreign degree students are served and guided by the admissions office when applying. Early on in the studies, the key counsellors are the career and peer tutors. Career tutors are teachers at JAMK who closely support and monitor the progress of the student’s studies. Peer tutors are fellow-students who provide peer support and guidance especially at the beginning of the studies. In addition to the career tutor, every School at JAMK has a study counsellor who students can contact with issues related to special support needed with studies, learning, time management, fatigue, motivation, substance abuse and/or mental health problems. The students can also contact the study psychologist regarding these matters. Additionally, the Student Services guides and helps degree students with the practicalities related to studying throughout the studies. If you have been accepted to JAMK as a degree student, read more about guidance in the Study Guide.
